| 2024 | Enhancing Hi-C contact matrices for loop detection with Capricorn: a multiview diffusion modelabstractMOTIVATION: High-resolution Hi-C contact matrices reveal the detailed three-dimensional architecture of the genome, but high-coverage experimental Hi-C data are expensive to generate. Simultaneously, chromatin structure analyses struggle with extremely sparse contact matrices. To address this problem, computational methods to enhance low-coverage contact matrices have been developed, but existing methods are largely based on resolution enhancement methods for natural images and hence often employ models that do not distinguish between biologically meaningful contacts, such as loops and other stochastic contacts. RESULTS: We present Capricorn, a machine learning model for Hi-C resolution enhancement that incorporates small-scale chromatin features as additional views of the input Hi-C contact matrix and leverages a diffusion probability model backbone to generate a high-coverage matrix. We show that Capricorn outperforms the state of the art in a cross-cell-line setting, improving on existing methods by 17% in mean squared error and 26% in F1 score for chromatin loop identification from the generated high-coverage data. We also demonstrate that Capricorn performs well in the cross-chromosome setting and cross-chromosome, cross-cell-line setting, improving the downstream loop F1 score by 14% relative to existing methods. We further show that our multiview idea can also be used to improve several existing methods, HiCARN and HiCNN, indicating the wide applicability of this approach. Finally, we use DNA sequence to validate discovered loops and find that the fraction of CTCF-supported loops from Capricorn is similar to those identified from the high-coverage data. Capricorn is a powerful Hi-C resolution enhancement method that enables scientists to find chromatin features that cannot be identified in the low-coverage contact matrix.

| 2023 | Gemini: memory-efficient integration of hundreds of gene networks with high-order poolingabstractMOTIVATION: The exponential growth of genomic sequencing data has created ever-expanding repositories of gene networks. Unsupervised network integration methods are critical to learn informative representations for each gene, which are later used as features for downstream applications. However, these network integration methods must be scalable to account for the increasing number of networks and robust to an uneven distribution of network types within hundreds of gene networks. RESULTS: To address these needs, we present Gemini, a novel network integration method that uses memory-efficient high-order pooling to represent and weight each network according to its uniqueness. Gemini then mitigates the uneven network distribution through mixing up existing networks to create many new networks. We find that Gemini leads to more than a 10% improvement in F1 score, 15% improvement in micro-AUPRC, and 63% improvement in macro-AUPRC for human protein function prediction by integrating hundreds of networks from BioGRID, and that Gemini's performance significantly improves when more networks are added to the input network collection, while Mashup and BIONIC embeddings' performance deteriorates. Gemini thereby enables memory-efficient and informative network integration for large gene networks and can be used to massively integrate and analyze networks in other domains.
